What is internal medicine?

Internal medicine is a specialized area of medical care that applies scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to diagnose, treat, and monitor all the health needs of an adult.

Internal medicine providers, also known as internists, undergo years of medical training so they can diagnose and treat even the most puzzling and complex medical problems. These medical experts also provide ongoing care for chronic health conditions, including care for patients with multiple chronic diseases. 

Though internal medicine providers are experts at diagnosing a wide range of health problems that affect adults, they also focus on disease prevention and health promotion.

What are internal medicine services?

MIG internal medicine providers offer many services to meet your health needs. Some of the most notable services include chronic care management, labs, and remote patient monitoring.

Chronic care management

Chronic care management is a service that helps people with multiple chronic health problems. Through chronic care management, your MIG provider offers ongoing treatment and monitoring of your chronic health conditions. 

Labs

Your MIG internal medicine provider requests labs. Labs offer objective information about your health and risk of disease and include blood and urine tests.

You may need labs for chronic care management or your annual physical exam. 

Remote patient monitoring

Remote patient monitoring allows your MIG provider to keep tabs on your health without you having to visit the clinic. Instead, they use innovative technology to remotely monitor your blood pressure, blood sugar, or body weight.

They use the data from your remote-monitoring device to adjust your treatment plan and improve your overall health and well-being. Your provider most often uses remote patient monitoring for chronic care management.
